Scarborough Fair Collection attraction will remain closed for rest of year

The management and staff at the attraction at Lebberston Cliff, on the A165 at Lebberston, have found it impossible to operate the museum in a way which would keep guests and staff safe.

A statement said: "So the difficult decision has been made to remain closed for the rest of the 2020 season. Everything had been made ready for the museum to be open in the spring which was just at the time when the country wide ‘lockdown’ was put in place. After following the Government’s guidelines it was hoped to open the museum to the public in September, however because of the ongoing situation the museum with all its attractions will stay closed for the rest of the season.

"The management hope to open this unique museum again for all to enjoy the vintage fairground attractions and vintage transport exhibits in March

The museum’s Facebook page will be updated every week..
